Salvete clarae virgines tutela praesens patriae virtutis et constantiae exemplar admirabile | Non vos chalybs rigentibus dum nectit arctus annulis nec laminis candentibus catasta terret ignea | Nec confragosa rupium calcata nudis plantulis fregere vos dispendia sed hinc fides fit acrior | Deinde victo saeculo caeli subiistis atria Ruffina fuso sanguine et Iusta digna nomine | Rosisque purpurantibus confessionis inclytae intexuistis candida integritatis lilia | Ergo triumphi nobilis sacris revinctae laureis palmas refertis duplices Agnum sequentes praevium | Te Dux corona Martyrum cum Patre Christe et Spiritu in Trinitate simplici aeterna laudent saecula
